Introduction HL Aka: Hilliard Lee. Hilliard means: Yard on a hill. Why was I named after a yard? Not sure. I'm a Ragamuffin under construction. Addicted and Recovering. Father to a Jedi Knight. Husband to a Lorelai Gilmore wannabe who's a triathalete. Loves people and music. Attached to a Macbook. Could live on Peanut Butter. Craves the Chop Shop. Enjoys Dunkin Donuts coffee. Loves a good Guiness and Chicken w/Honey Mustard from Molly's Pub with my friends. I also enjoy a glass of Merlot with my love. Desires another Tattoo. Plays a rad Ibanez hollowbody, a Reverend Jetstream and and a nice Fender Tele. My main acoustic is my Martin and a old beat up Lowden acoustic and one really sweet old Epiphone Mandolin. I drive a Yamaha C3 scooter to work. I'm falling in love with training for Triathlons. I would pump scripture into my veins if I could replace my blood with it. Gods words give me such peace, hope, strength, and wisdom that I so badly need. Jesus is good, so good.
